2

Its name was meant to mean 'hindlimb lizard', but the scientist who named it mixed up two Greek words, so it actually means 'rib of beef lizard'.1

3

Scelidosaurus had long horizontal rows of keeled oval bony plates (osteoderms) along its neck, back and tail for protection.1

4

It lived during the Early Jurassic, when Europe was a group of islands.1

5

The first fossils were found in the 1850s by quarry owner James Harrison near Charmouth, England.1

6

Scelidosaurus had a small head and a large gut to digest tough plants.1
